HARVEST

He missed the last flight out of Alabama
His mind was still on stage
When spotlights all went out,
And there were no more shouts
He was caught in Words (Between Lines of Age)

20 years he have been Out On The Weekend
His dues he has more than paid
He has lost costumes,
Woke up in hotel rooms
He knows when a Man Needs A Maid

He made his fortune years ago
Are You Ready For The Country? they say
He always replies
In half truths and lies
"Next year.. just not today"

In the fall, when his Harvest is over
And he returns home just another Old Man
He wraps his Heart Of Gold
Under the covers of a bed so cold
And listens to the rotating fan..

For the air that circulates is loneliness
Because Theres A World of many, but he's one
He replays the moment he lost his love
Which he knows today was because of
The Needle And The Damage Done..

D this was very poignant, reminds me of the song Annie by John Denver he spent so much time on the road with roadies and such he lost some of his morals to his life style and finally lost what it was he cared about the most, his family. We all make bad judgements sometimes and find it hard to carry on without a person we love, but as we're always told learn from the mistakes and become better. Excellent use of the titles veru seamless throughtout, [green]Exalt[/green]
